There is a whole set of Canadians on opposing sides of the political center who lose their entire identity and reason for living unless they are against or outraged about -something-.

Thank you, Canada.
For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse.
You reminded us that we are not alone.
Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world.
And more like something worth staying alive for.

Let’s talk about Canada’s national debt.
You’ve probably heard:
“It’s like a credit card, and the government maxed it out.”
But that’s not quite right. 🧵

I fact checked what Mark Carney said for a week this election campaign. He likes obscure topics — but here’s how many false claims he made
After listening to Liberal Leader Mark Carney it is clear that he — mostly — flies close to the facts.

This is confirmation of the things I've been writing about for years now—that MPs are being instructed to abandon their duties to perform for clips rather than do their actual fucking jobs.

Thank you! This seems lost on so many journalists these days...
I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.
